The former golden boy of Russia has now become their target as they attempt to defend their leader. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Last week, the New York times published an essay that basically said we have to be honest with ourselves and admit that Russia is in fact run by a fascist. Well, as you can imagine, that did not go over so well in Russia where Vladimir Putin is weirdly enough, still supported by a good majority of the people there. So on the Kremlin funded TV station. So, you know, they kind of have to support Putin. One of the hosts by the name of Vladimir OV decided to go on a Ty rate of his own about this New York times essay. And he pointed out Mr. Uh, again, uh, Salvi that it is in fact, the United States that has flirted with fascism by electing Donald Trump. Now, before I read what Mr. Valoff had to say, it is important to point out that Donald Trump has been the favorite American of the Russians for quite some time.

Now, hell, he's not even on the list of Americans that are banned from going to Russia. President Biden is Hillary Clinton is Nancy. Pelosi is AOC is, but not Donald Trump. They love him there. And maybe it's because as this host points out, he is totally a fascist. So here is what Mr. Uh, salav. Y'all had to say, I'm sorry. Every time I read how he starts this, I love it. Listen, you bastard. Let me tell you a secret. First of all, your signs are idiotic in their nature. Secondly, looking at your listed indications, how are they any different from the election campaign of Donald Trump down to his slogan, make America great again. And of course he is responding to specific issues, brought up in that New York times essay, where they list all the ways that Russia is in fact fascist. And Mr. Uh, Sola, Y is basically pointed out like this is you you're writing about you and Donald Trump America. He continues, you know, uh, strong leader with large crowds coming out on his support discussions of former greatness. Donald Trump promised to make America great. Again, they, they had mass events to support the leader. Would you like me to put on a video of the dancing Trump?

Yes. Yes. I would please put on a video of the dancing Trump on Lin state and sing Trump on crim Lynn state funded TV. I'm sorry. I can't even continue reading it. Listen, you get the gist of it at this point, right? Do you know how bad you have to be? Like how fascist you have to be for the fricking crimlin funded network to be like, whoa, hold up. This guy is a fascist. And here's the thing, though. They're not wrong. And let's be fair here. The New York times

Essay was also not wrong. Russia, you are being run by a fascist. You know, you are not necessarily a fascist country, but you're being run by a fascist in a fascist way. You know, you get rid of him and all of his little followers at the top tiers of the government. You're not gonna be fascist anymore, but over here in America. Yeah, we've got our own problems with fascists. Trump may be out of office, but we've got other little wannabe fascists popping up. Ron DeSantis in Florida, Greg Abbott in Texas, all of these people adhere to the same ideology. You're either with us or you're against us. And if you're against us, we're gonna punish you. We've seen them punish certain sex of the population. We have seen them punish corporations that dare go against the established conservative narrative. I mean, heck they did that this week with state farm Republicans have become fascists here in the United States. So yes, it's easy to sit there, writing an essay for the New York times, pointing out, look at all these fascists over, across the globe, horrible people. They don't even realize they're being run by fascists. Yeah, they may not. But apparently most Americans don't realize that we're also depending on where you live being ruled by fascists.
